* ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness'': Multiple times throughout Act VI, [[CreatureHuntingOrganization the HDA]] claim that they wanted peace with monsters, and the monsters blew it. Of course, this falls flat when one remembers that all throughout Act V, their leader, Jenner Rythmore, not only ''wasn't'' willing to give peace with monsters a chance, but openly stated that he was [[GiveMeAReason just waiting for the first possible excuse he could use to declare open war on the monster world.]]

* Happened again when President Trump fired FBI director James Comey, and claimed that it was because of his publicly commenting on the FBI investigation into his opponent Hillary Clinton's private email server. [[note]]Comey announced just ''days'' before the election that, based on new evidence, he was re-opening the investgation. It turned out to be much ado about nothing, but turned many voters off Clinton, with many people including Clinton herself arguing that this lost her the election after the fact.[[/note]] Not only had Comey's actions helped Trump win, but Trump had previously praised him multiple times for making that decision. When the White House claimed that that was the reason he was fired, absolutely ''nobody'' believed them. They quickly came up with other excuses.

* "Roderick" the gargoyle in ''WebVideo/JourneyQuest'' speaks in literally nothing but Blatant Lies. This is [[JustifiedTrope because]] he was one half of a KnightsAndKnaves puzzle. [[LordErrorProne Glorion]] the warrior killed his truthful counterpart before even realizing that it ''was'' a logic puzzle, then dragged Roderick with him as an [[TheDragAlong unwilling sidekick]]. For the rest of the series, Glorion never catches on that Roderick only speaks in lies, though they are so blatant that most other characters get it right away. Sometimes this endangers both their lives, when Roderick tries to encode earnest warnings but Glorion fails to comprehend. Mostly, Roderick just exploits his curse to hurl sarcastic insults, which Glorion interprets as flattery.

*** Happens in the United States. General Michael Flynn was given the "full confidence" treatment by many Trump Administration officicals in the press. Less than 24 hours later, he was out of a job. While there was a big deal about how blatant the lie was, it was pointed out that this isn't the first time such a series of events happened (just a speedier time) and that when the President says he has "full confidence" in someone, most press officials cynically add "will turn in his resignation in due time" to the end of the sentence.
